Charles Woodson extended the Oakland Raiders’ lead over the San Diego Chargers and matched an NFL record in the process.

Woodson scooped up a fumble from running back Danny Woodhead and returned it 25 yards for a touchdown late in the third quarter. The touchdown gave the Raiders a 24-3 lead over the Chargers and was the 13th defensive touchdown of Woodson’s career.

The touchdown tied Woodson with Rod Woodson and Darren Sharper for the most defensive touchdowns in NFL history.

I’m a realist fan, My Raiders are a mess for sure but hopefully coming up. 50 years in the NFL and no Superbowls for the the Chargers. Al Davis at work there too as is was Al Davis that got the Spanos to buy the Chargers, Al knew more than we know.
“Al Davis is one of the main reasons our family is in the NFL today. Al approached my dad (Alex Spanos) about getting involved in the NFL and was very helpful to us through the process. He had great insight into the league, both the product on the field and the business off the field. He saw the potential for growth. He was very much a visionary. Our family will always be grateful to Al for his friendship.

“Al is also a big reason for the strong rivalry between the Raiders and the Chargers and its popularity among both teams’ fans. He personified the image and mystique of the Raiders, and that image has helped build the strength of our rivalries and the popularity of our game. There has been no one in the NFL like Al Davis.

“The NFL and NFL fans everywhere – not just Raiders fans – owe Al Davis for helping to build the game we all love so much. He will be missed.”

I’m proud it was back with the RAIDER NATION they balled they behinds off just gotta finish more stronger gotta stop letting teams rally back in the 4th other then that congrats Cwoodson . And TP2 I mean he’s getting better and better every weekend I LOVE IT.. Keep grinding OAKTOWN!!!
